Question

The plasma membrane , according to the fluid-mosaic model is composed mailer of

Answer 1

Solution:

According to the accepted current theory, known as the fluid mosaic model, the plasma membrane is composed of a double layer (bilayer) of lipids, oily substances found in all cells. The fluid mosaic model was first proposed by S.J. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of components —including phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates—that gives the membrane a fluid character. Plasma membranes range from 5 to 10 nm in thickness.

Thus this is the required answer.
